JAMES HETFIELD: Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil & Vile

METALLICA frontman James Hetfield tops off the coveted ensemble cast of the upcoming thriller, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile (Voltage Pictures). The film follows the relationship between notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, played by Zac Efron, and his longtime girlfriend, played by Lily Collins, who at the time, had no knowledge of the crimes. The movie will make its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26th.

The Grammy and multi-Platinum and Gold Award winning artist will be playing Officer Bob Hayward, a no-nonsense Utah highway patrol veteran who was the first law enforcement officer to arrest Bundy in 1975 after pulling the killer over and discovering burglary tools in his car but wisely suspecting much worse. While Hetfield has played himself in other films and television productions, this will be his first dramatic role taking on a different character. The fact is his performance will prove that truth is stranger than fiction.

“Before winning election to Congress, TrentFranks served in the Arizona legislature and founded the Arizona Family Research Institute, an organization associated with Dr. James Dobson’s “Focus on the Family.” Franks’ institute advocates for policies designed to protect children and families.”

“Dr. James Dobson founded Zionist Gary Bauer’s Family Research Council. James Clayton “Jim” Dobson, Jr. is an influential American evangelical Christian author, psychologist. The notorious serial mass murderer Ted Bundy of the ILLUMINATI MASONIC BUNDY BLOODLINE had connections with human-child trafficking, abductions, Satanism, pedophilia, sacrifices, and mind control. Bundytold an interviewer that he read the work of Marquis deSadeand was hugely impacted by his works. JamesDobson is a Sex Perversion, Pornography- Ted Bundy Expert. He is also a Marquis deSade expert.”

“Bundy was a pen-pal to would-be President Ronald Reagan assassin John Hinckley, Jr. He drops a lot of strange language that refers to Monarch mind control- references to butterflies and women: the world of MK ULTRA. They also seem to have spoken in some sort of code. “

All of Bundy’s responses to Hinckley contained the phrase “the haunting score” in reference to all the films they discussed. Haunting score– Bundy said that he killed more than 100 people, and not only women. He confessed to killing 30 women in seven states before he was executed by electric chair on January 24, 1989.”

Academy-award nominee Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost) will direct. Hetfield and Berlinger have crossed paths before when the latter directed and produced the seminal rock-doc Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster along with the late Bruce Sinofsky. Berlinger also penned a book about his experiences with the band, Metallica: This Monster Lives.

“Having spent hundreds of hours behind the scenes with James and the rest of Metallica, I have experienced his charisma and powerful presence close up,” says director Joe Berlinger. “It seemed only natural that he would bring that same power and magnetism to a dramatic role, so when he agreed to my pitch that he be in the movie, I was thrilled.”
